In 1958, the Wienermobile got another face lift, this time from industrial designer Brooks Stevens. Set on a Willys Jeep chassis, the third generation Wienermobile added a nearly 360-degree front dome to the cockpit.
I love the Weinermobile! My dad took me to see one in Southern California back in the fifties. They had a little guy in a chef's suit who played the part of "Oscar Mayer." Last summer, my wife and I went to the Oscar Mayer headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin, just to see one of the older Weinermobiles (though not this old) that sat in front of the building. We also kept encountering one of the new Weinermobiles and Mini Weinermobile (I think it's called, "L'il Link.") all over Madison. They just bring a smile to your face when you see them!
